Great online company

Cannot praise this company's customer care enough.my first order I placed with them arrived damaged. Broken parts were loose in package so I'm assuming damaged via royal mail. Within 1 hour of emailing the customer service department replied and resolved the issue more than satisfactorily. I have no reservations with highly recommending this company

Space saver wheel kit

Contacted Wilco for advice on buying a space saver wheel. Took the advice, ordered the part Saturday, delivered the following Tuesday. Good service, good product, good value.

Customer service

I recently ordered a summet roof box from Wilco direct only to find that some of the essential parts were missing. Nightmare considering we are due in holiday in the next two days! After a quick email to the sales department, the team at Wilco had my parts on next day delivery (on a Saturday!). Well done, great service!

Popped in with product code from your website (believe me that's good for me ) the gentleman was very polite and helpful, he directed me to another make assured me they were equally as good and considerably cheaper, fantastic service again.
Thank you Wilco

Fact or fiction??

I wanted to buy two Faraday pouches for my car keys. A big red sign on the item says no delivery charges. When you come to pay and select delivery at checkout, there are delivery charges. Well, which is it?
Thanks for your response. I have re-read the delivery option at payment time ticked it and got the result I wanted. I have consequently changed my rating. Please accept my apologies.

Dear Mr Cooper Thank you for taking your time to review - we can confirm it is "Fact" that FREE delivery applies for a pair of Faraday bags ordered within Mainland UK. If you decide to place the order use the FREE delivery option in the drop down at checkout.

Good service

Ordered aerosol spray cans for motorbike parts on 2 occasions. Both times arrived in a couple of days, as ordered and well packaged. No issues.

Bought a set of number plates

Bought a set of number plates, didn't expect a large WILCO at the bottom, I know by law the supplier's name has to be on the bottom of a number plate but it was how big Wilco made it.
Waste of money and I'm paying to advertise for Wilco.

Hello Mark, Sorry to hear that you are disappointed with your number plate. The law states a minimum font size and standard to which our manufacturer abides by. We make 10K+ plates a year and haven't had negative feedback to date on this issue, we will however feed this back to our supplier and see what we can do in future.

530l roof box

Ordered a 530l roof box, item arrived 2 days later. Was as easy to assemble as they suggested and works a treat. Probably the biggest roof box I could find and was still £50 cheaper than a 470l Halfords own brand box. Cant fault one bit

Still trying to get a reply out of Wilco as to an item that was missing from my order This has been going on since 19/06/2020. I would NOT recommend this company on the grounds of no one seems to care that there is a problem, probably blame it on COVID 19

Super quick, some other company let me down so found Wilcodirect and I am glad i did.
Yesterday i ordered some spray paint and today it already arrived and Shipping was free as well.
And the best part is the prices are the best.
Definitely will buy again and recommend to friends.

Thank you!

Hello Susan, we do not sell wall paint for DIY uses. Sometimes our customers get us confused with Wilko with a K (formerly Wilkinson). Either way, we would appreciate you reaching out to resolve your review and hopefully welcome you to our stores in the future.

We always strive to help as many as we can and have since implemented live chat and can be contacted via social media, email and telephone.
